Trump's victory, and the further mass oppression of minorities, is closer than ever before. May god have mercy on our souls.

The COTW (Country of the Week) label is designed to spur discussion and debate about a specific country every week in order to help the community gain greater understanding of the domestic situation of often-understudied nations. If you've wanted to talk about the country or share your experiences, but have never found a relevant place to do so, now is your chance! However, don't worry - this is still a general news megathread where you can post about ongoing events from any country.

The "Country" of the Week is South Korea! Feel free to chime in with books, essays, longform articles, even stories and anecdotes or rants. More detail here.

Please check out the HexAtlas!

Literally the funniest news I've ever woken up to
- The funniest moment of our lives, only to be surpassed by every new funny moment for the rest of our lives
- After years of not seeing each other, a friend who lives in another province came to visit us yesterday. So we had a party with the boys. Drinks, food, games, etc.
  Woke up, after sleeping the whole Saturday, to an "Trump was shoot" message. First throught that came to my mind was "Hexbear must be full of memes and shitposting rn". I'm glad I was right.
  On the other hand, my country president (Javier Milei) is going full on the "globalist conspiracy" against Trump. What a shitty and absurd timeline.
